why use SSL for website

An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is a bit of code on your web server that provides security for online communications by creating an encrypted connection between your web server and your visitors' web browser.

The SSL certificate has two specific functions:

1. Authentication and Verification: The SSL certificate has information about the authenticity of certain details regarding the identity of a person, business or website, which it will display to visitors on your website when they click on the browser's padlock symbol or trust mark. The vetting criteria used by Certificate Authorities to determine if an SSL certificate should be issued is most stringent with an Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificate; making it the most trusted SSL certificate available.

2. Data Encryption: The SSL certificate also enables encryption, which means that the sensitive information exchanged via the website cannot be intercepted and read by anyone other than the intended recipient. It's kind of like sealing a letter in an envelope before sending it through the mail.

An SSL certificate is only reliable when issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). A CA builds its reputation by following very strict rules and policies about who may or may not receive an SSL certificate. An SSL certificate from a trusted CA leads to a higher degree of trust by your customers, clients, or partners
